Elle pue tellement la classe qu'elle m'a convaincue d'acheter Sonic Mania après de longs mois où le jeu m'a donné de plus en plus envie avec toutes les révélations qui y étaient lié... Alors que je n'ai joué qu'à un jeu Sonic en la personne de Sonic Heroes (bien que j'ai essayé Sonic premier du nom, mais comme c'était sur un I-Pad, je le compte pas trop).
C'est grave docteur ?

Nick Walefin a écrit : ↑11 août 2017, 17:16 Montre moi des concept arts et des pubs de l'époque qui montrent Sonic comme étant edgy et faussement cool stp.

Les "piece of cake" et "you're too slow" c'est arrivé plus tard, au début c'était juste un hérisson bleu qui cours vite.

Spoiler :

According to Yuji Naka, Sonic's color also serves to symbolize peace, trust, and coolness which are the attributes of Sonic's character.

The original concepts gave Sonic fangs and put him in a band with a human girlfriend named Madonna. However, a team from Sega of America, led by Madeline Schroeder,[7] "softened" the character up for an American audience by removing these elements.

"When "Sonic The Hedgehog" was born on the Genesis, we went through what seemed like an endless period of trial and error, trying to find the perfect new action hero; something that nobody had ever seen before... The final element to the game was the hero, a hero that represented righteousness and freedom yet exuded a sense of "cool". And while Sonic was a character that was vastly different from the norm at the time, people around the world accepted him. And at that moment, we knew that this new stance of challenging the accepted norm was absolutely appropriate for Sonic himself as a character.. Perhaps one could say that this new stance changed Sonic's very destiny."

Even in the '80s, advertising and pop media culture pushed to associate the performance of rebellion with the consumption of their products, whether it was trying something "new" by drinking a Pepsi instead of a coke, or resisting the conformed masses by buying a Macintosh over a PC, or even showing your friends how ahead of the curve you were by buying a Sega console. This was the myth of consumerism's reciprocity, that through buying consumer products I can realise my existential desires, fulfil the fantasy of rebellion, and perhaps deal with the feeling of lostness and adriftness that Alexander notes was pervasive among her generation.

Nowhere is it more apparent that Sonic fits into these dynamics than Naka's note itself, where vague platitudes of coolness and "challenging the norm" weave between video game content announcements and McDonalds cross-promotions. This is what a Mascot is meant to do, to embody a loose collection of large ideas and attach itself to material, commoditized objects. Sonic, among many other commercial images of the 1980s and 1990s represents the commodification of alterity and rebellion, rendering these concepts less useful, and less capable of inciting change and meaningful social transformation.

EDIT : Whoa, un des animateurs de l'intro a commencé en rippant des sprites Sonic (Certains édités par Dioxaz)

Super Bunnyhop (encore lui) a fait une super vidéo qui analyse la création de Sonic dans son contexte marketing et comment ça a influencé l'évolution de la franchise depuis le début... en étudiant les premiers niveaux de chaque jeu Sonic.
